EconDash

Returns one value of one indicator for up to 20 countries or regions: for the given year, or the latest observed value in each country when no year is given. Each value has its own period and chart link; projections are labelled. Codes without data are listed separately.

Returns the whole history of one indicator for one country or region, up to 1500 values per call, for people signed in to EconDash with full data access; other signed-in accounts get as many values as get_indicator_series. Needs sign-in to EconDash. Without years: the history up to the latest observed value, with the nearest projection in next_projection. With start_year and/or end_year: the values in that range, the latest ones and truncated true when it holds more. Same fields as get_indicator_series. Country is an ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code.

Returns the description, unit, frequency, source, publisher, licence, attribution text, coverage in years and countries, and the time of the last data change for one indicator.

Returns values of one indicator for one country or region. A call returns at most 30 annual, 40 quarterly, 120 monthly, 52 weekly, 250 daily values (about 30 years of annual data, 10 years of quarterly or monthly, one year of weekly or daily). Without years: the latest observed values. With start_year and/or end_year: the values in that range; when the range holds more, the latest ones are returned and truncated is true. With year: one value for that year (the last period of that year for monthly or quarterly data). Includes the unit, source, licence, the range of periods with data and a link to the EconDash chart page that shows the full history. Projections such as IMF forecasts are labelled; without end_year or year, the series stops at the latest observed value and the nearest projection comes in a separate next_projection field.

Searches the EconDash catalogue by keyword, for example GDP and growth, inflation, unemployment and wages, population, life expectancy, interest and exchange rates, government debt, trade, house prices, oil, gold and metal prices, stock indices, energy, health, education and internet use. Use it when the user asks for a statistic for a country or region: its latest value, history or a comparison. Returns up to 25 matches with the slug, name, unit, frequency, source and years covered. The slug is the input for get_indicator_series, compare_countries and get_indicator_details. The catalogue has no series for individual shares or cryptocurrencies (only the Crypto Fear & Greed Index), tax rates, steel or the Baltic Dry Index.
